How does Sandy change when he begins to focus on his education? Is this good or bad?

He only occasionally saw his old neighborhood and heard nothing from his mother, Jimboy or Harriett (who was now on stage in Kansas City). And he only sometimes saw his friends, who Tempy tried to keep him away from. This is good because it keeps him away from bad influences. This is also bad because it pulls him away from his roots and family.
